1. Which frame field is created by a source node and used by a destination node to ensure that a transmitted data signal has not been altered by interference, distortion, or signal loss?
- transport layer error check field
- frame check sequence field
- User Datagram Protocol field
- error correction process field
- flow control field
2. Which data link layer addressing scheme is used in a point-to-point logical topology?
- IPv4 addressing
- IPv6 addressing
- ring addressing
- multi-access addressing
- Layer 2 addressing not required for this topology
3. What do network hosts use data link layer addresses for?
- remote delivery
- local and remote delivery
- local delivery
- remote delivery using routers
4. Which three basic parts are common to all frame types supported by the data link layer? (Choose three.)
- header
- type field
- MTU size
- data
- trailer
- CRC value
Explanation: The data link protocol is responsible for NIC-to-NIC communications within the same network. Although there are many different data link layer protocols that describe data link layer frames, each frame type has three basic parts:
- Header
- Data
- Trailer
5. What are two characteristics of the controlled media access method? (Choose two.)
- It is known as a deterministic access method.
- There are no collisions when this type of method is in use.
- Any station can transmit at any time.
- Bandwidth is more efficiently utilized than in a contention-based access method.
- Stations must determine if the media is carrying a signal before they can transmit.
6. Which of the following are sublayers of the Data Link layer?
- ACL, LMC
- MAC, LAC
- MAC, LLC
- OSI, LLC
7. Which of the following are data link layer encapsulation details? (Choose two.)
- A header and trailer are added.
- Data is converted into packets.
- Packets are packaged into frames.
- Frames are divided into segments.
- Packets are changed into bits for Internet travel.
8. What is achieved by the encapsulation process at the data link layer?
- Packets are put into frames.
- Data is packaged into a packet.
- Packets are divided into segments.
- Data is converted for Internet transmission.
